chainrings, the cassette and jockey wheels will be clean, always ....
Ya, I think I am going to try the product that cycco recommends, White Lightening Clean Ride.
I like the idea of easy application.
I've used really thin chain lubes in the past and they are so easy and fast to apply, and as you say, everything stays clean, so not a big deal even if they need to be put on a bit more often.
